Gerald Dean Morris

Gerald Morris Obituary

Gerald Dean Morris was born March 30, 1963, in Browning, Mont., to Roxie Hoyt and George Morris. Gerald was violently taken from his family and many friends. Gerald would say he was amazed he had made it to the age of 43.
Gerald was known to the Billings community as the "Bicycle Man." He was always there to help those in need and also collected coats to be distributed in the Northern Cheyenne community. He was a Jack of All Trades, and had learned most from his stepfather, Vern (Karolyn) Blinco.
Gerald will be greatly missed by his mother, Roxie; sisters, Ginger Morris and Robin (Jason) Hatfield; brother, George "Tiger" Morris; and nieces, Gentry Ellertson, Haley Hatfield, Taylor Morris and nephews, Ryan and Jeffrey Morris.
Gifts in remembrance of Gerald may be made to the Rescue Mission. Arrangements are in the care of Dahl Funeral & Cremation Service of Billings.

You are in our thoughts and prayers. We both knew Gerald and thought he was a great person. My wife knew him from high school and I knew him from out at Lockwood. We enjoyed talking of the good memories we had of him. I pictured him still young and doing wheelies on his bike.

Ginger and family, I am truly sorry to hear of Gerald's passing. I can only imagine the pain that you and your family must feel. I didn't know Gerald that good, but he was always pleasant the few times that we had short visits.

My memories of Gerald go back to our days of Junior High.. His smile would melt my heart and his love for life and his free spirit were awe inspiring.

Robin & Family I am sorry for your tragic loss and will keep your family in my heart and thoughts and most of all in my prayers.. I pray that they find the individuals responsible for taking that beaming smile away from the world.

Your smile lives on inside my heart Gerald. You are already greatly missed.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.
